"Rainbirds Through The Web Of Time” - 40 Years, One Voice

In the organizer's words:

"Rainbirds Through The Web Of Time" - 40 Years, One Voice.

At the end, with Allen. The anniversary tour with an extended original line-up.

In search of a good ending, "Through The Web Of Time - 40 Years Rainbirds" sees one of the most important bands in German pop and rock history return to the country's stages for some exclusive concerts.

With songs such as "Blueprint" and "Sea Of Time", Rainbirds created timeless classics for the eternal songbook of pop. The focus is on Katharina Franck, the charismatic singer and author of these timeless songs and lyrics, whose unmistakable timbre has become the band's trademark.

With Beckmann (bass), Wolfgang Glum (drums) and Rodrigo González (guitar), the line-up from the founding period is almost perfect. Pianist, composer and long-time Rainbirds member Ulrike Haage, who was awarded the Albert Mangelsdorff Prize for her outstanding solo work, is also part of the band. Electric guitarist Werner Neumann, an indispensable companion in Katharina Franck's musical cosmos, and drummer Dominique "Gaga" Ehlert, hyper-professional and warm-hearted, complete the line-up. "These will be the best Rainbirds ever," promises Katharina Franck.

Through The Web Of Time is by no means just a nostalgic look back. As a musical journey through the Rainbirds' song history, the setlist will of course include the great classics, but also formative works from the Rainbirds' subsequent years. Ulrike Hage's and Katharina Franck's literary references, their film, theater and radio play compositions and, again and again, Franck's examination of appearance and reality and the simultaneity of past, present and future.

The band's heterogeneity, their most striking common trademark from the very beginning, shines brightest in this expanded line-up. In Berlin, Bremen, Bochum and Siegen, Rainbirds will also bring the young singer-songwriters Lina Maly and Willow Parlo on stage, who will each reinterpret a Rainbirds song. In Munich, percussionist FM Einheit joins the band for three songs. Together with Haage and Franck, he formed the group Stein in the 1990s and added his sounds to the 4th Rainbirds album "In A Different Light".

Highly exciting variations of the already multi-layered Rainbirds repertoire turn every concert evening into something unique: Rousing, touching, stirring, uplifting and thoroughly alive.
